Everything is very green hereabouts - 10 days makes a big difference. Just had a stroll up the lane and shot some of the flowers that are out. The first one must be related to the bean family I think. The rowan are flowering and elder is in full bloom. You can see why the poppy was chosen as a WW1 symbol -fallen petals just like spots of blood in the grass. Some winter wheat has grown up spontaneously in a clump between two maize fields and finally my spruced up garden area. New bright cushions and 2 new miniature roses, yellow and pink, central by the white geranium. My son has done a good job of keeping things watered while I was away. Just about to sit out for my afternoon tea.
